FBI PROBES SERVICE SELLING 153M+ DRIVERS LICENSES
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
A dark web service named Nexus recently advertised over 153 million scanned US and Canadian driver's licenses alongside millions of other identification documents on a Russian cybercrime forum. By correlating GMT timestamps embedded in the leaked image filenames with real-world travel records, researchers traced the infrared and ultraviolet scans back to a potential breach at the identity verification vendor idscan.net. Following the discovery of this continuous exfiltration campaign affecting major corporate clients, the FBI opened an official inquiry, and the Nexus site immediately went offline.
